System and method for data security using quantum key distribution

A method comprising:

• generating a quantum key for data packet transmissions;
• distributing the quantum key among a set of end-point devices, wherein each of the set of end-point devices is an authorized device;
• encrypting a data packet with the quantum key;
• storing the encrypted data packet in a blockchain database;
• receiving a request message to access the data packet, wherein the request message comprises an identifier associated with a requesting device;
• and
• in response to receiving the request message:
• determining whether the request message is originated from an authorized entity by determining whether the identifier associated with the requesting device is recorded as an authorized entity in the blockchain database;
• and
• in response to determining that the request message is originated from an authorized entity, granting access of the data packet to the requesting device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, wherein when the instructions are executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• generate a quantum key for data packet transmissions;
• distribute the quantum key among a set of end-point devices, wherein each of the set of end-point devices is an authorized device;
• encrypt a data packet with the quantum key;
• store the encrypted data packet in a blockchain database;
• receive a request message to access the data packet, wherein the request message comprises an identifier associated with a requesting device;
• and
• in response to receiving the request message:
• determine whether the request message is originated from an authorized entity by determining whether the identifier associated with the requesting device is recorded as an authorized entity in the blockchain database;
• and
• in response to determining that the request message is originated from an authorized entity, grant access of the data packet to the requesting device.
